Step Two
3. Secure the wire along the top of the hook shank to the middle of the bend of the hook with thread wraps. Wrap the thread back to the bead, keeping the thread foundation smooth and even.
Step Three
4. Wrap the copper wire forward to the bead and secure with thread wraps. Notice that the wraps are tight together.
